Show all expandable content
<
Use this dialog to enter different firm information that you can authorize for printing in the preparer block section of a client's return. The PRP preparer block(s) you enter will be available for selection in the
Preparer block
field in the File then New Client or File then Client Properties dialog.To open this dialog, choose Setup, System Configuration, then Firm tab, then select the PRP preparer block button.
note
- Depending on your security configuration, you might be prompted to enter the master password before you can open the Firm tab.
- You do not need to add a blank preparer block in this dialog because the UltraTax CS has one built in. Blank preparer blocks require a PRP authorization code.
- If you are processing a client with a PRP-licensed application, you can print any preparer block you want for the client. If you are processing the client with a standard UltraTax CS license, supply Thomson Reuters with the client's taxpayer identification number to obtain an authorization code that allows you to print the client's return with the PRP preparer block. Authorization codes are entered in the File then New Client or File then Client Properties dialog.
